    The NO side keeps saying it is not about anything that is not nice sounding.

    I believe in love - what is this John Lennon debate.

    How much of these No speakers are actually motivated by religious beliefs in their opposition to same-sex marriage?

    Ronan Mullen isn't elected by the people. Yet he diverts to his "democracy and the people" spiel a lot. Put him in an election and see how popular he is....

    He reminds me of Eoin McLove from Father Ted.

    Very little.

    Most just believe in man/woman marriage and nothing to do with sexuality or equality.

    Simon needs to calm down rather than appear flustered.

    He doesn't seem flustered at all. Bemused at Mullen's dishonest debating methods, certainly (who wouldn't be?), but very calm.

    Married heterosexual couples have been having the same sex all the time.

    Nothing to do with sexuality once it's a man and a woman?

    So now the couple will be able to adopt together rather than just one of them having to do it. Big deal.

    This reminds of the good old days of proper debates on the Late Late Show back in the day.

    Yes, it's just a total coincidence that almost everyone on the No side happens to be very, very religious (indeed, so religious that they forget to be Christian).

    Coveney is having a mare. Awful public persona, perpetually sullen as if hiding something

    No, traditional marriage, where same sex marriage wasn't even dreamed of.

    On this issue, we can debate it, we can twitter it, we can post on these threads, but the only certain way to ensure a positive result is to go out on referendum day and vote ''Yes.''
    Anything else is just blather......

    Claire is very very weak.

    This girl had that annoying Disney twang.

    They could be more traditional, doesn't mean religion is the driving force.

    But you said nothing to do with sexuality.

    You don't make any sense.

    The issue is not about children, and it's a shame Byrne isn't swatting the issue down when the No camp keep throwing it out there due to the fact they've got nothing else.
